Hello,
I've just installed Ubuntu 8.10 and I have to say it's a great alternative to Windows.
But I have 2 Problems:
I wanted to install gtkwave. I found out that it should be in the "universe" repository but unfortunately apt-get install/the synaptic package installer does not find it, even though "universe" is in the repository list.
Which repository do I have to add?
I could install gtkwave manually, I know, but I would have to install a lot of other packages manually.
The second problem is not so important but still annoying.
I have installed the proprietary fglrx driver. When I run aticonfig --initial=dual-head to set up a configuration for my notebook and my external monitor I always get an error like: (EE) fglrx(0) Unknown EDID version 0 when I restart.
If I run aticonfig --initial the external monitor works but with wrong dimensions.
I would really appreciate,
if anyone of you knows an answer to one of my questions.
Thanks in advance!
